IAN SVENONIUS, member of the Make-Up and Nation of Ulysses, will read from his new book "Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock N Roll Group". Ian communes with the spirits of long-departed rock stars including Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison, seeking insight into the history, meaning, and effective creation and/or destruction of the rock ’n’ roll group.
CALVIN JOHNSON of K Records and Beat Happening will play music. Based in Olympia, Washington, Calvin‘s work in underground culture started as a teenage fan volunteering at the local community radio station, KAOS-FM. The decade of the double zeroes saw Calvin Johnson set into the world, acoustic guitar in hand, as a solo artist of musical platitudes.

The WCBN app lets you listen to freeform college radio wherever you are.
The song history lets you know what you've heard and it knows the studio number so you can call in requests.
I'll take "Radio, Radio" for $800, Alex.
"Jeopardy!" viewers on Wednesday night, April 24, 2013 gained extremely valuable knowledge upon seeing this clue on the screen.
New Transmitter in 2013
WCBN's engineering staff is working toward a projected December, 2013 timeframe to deploy our new FM signal. Check out the signal increase on this map. The blue line shows the current signal coverage, while the red line outlines the area we will cover after upgrading our signal to 3000 watts.
There are about 274,000 residents in the new coverage area, compared to 118,000 in the current coverage area. We expect improved reception in places like Dexter and Saline.
Support from our listeners, volunteers, and the Regents of the University of Michigan has made this upgrade project possible.
Thank you!

ACTION ALERT: Make Roadrunner Massachusetts' State Rock Song
ACTION ALERT: Make Roadrunner Massachusetts' State Rock Song:
From the March 4th, 2013 Boston Globe: ”No, this isn’t a life-or-death issue. But even a lighthearted bill can be a civic exercise; Linehan knows people who have called their representatives for the first time on the song’s behalf. The ‘Roadrunner’ campaign is also a tribute to Massachusetts’ creative economy. Linehan was inspired by a 2007 article in the British newspaper The Guardian, in which the writer took a pilgrimage to Massachusetts to visit the places named in the song. Music can be an ambassador, and ‘Roadrunner’ showcases Massachusetts at its most optimistic and openhearted.”
Yeah let’s do this. Join the fb group if you like (see link above), call your State Reps if you are now or ever have been a citizen of the glorious Commonwealth of Massachusetts, God save it.
And remember, this isn’t merely about the making the Modern Lovers’ love song to Massachusetts the state rock song. It is also about keeping feckin Dream On from becoming our state rock song. Thanks, South Shore.
